This interview with Megan Gallup, San Juan County’s Director of Health, Community Health, and Social Services, highlights several important community issues, including housing affordability, suicide prevention, mental health, and addiction recovery. Gallup discusses the county’s recent housing summit, which brought together government agencies, nonprofits, businesses, and other organizations to explore solutions to local housing challenges. She also explains suicide-prevention efforts such as QPR training, the development of a psychiatric crisis triage center, mobile crisis services, and the 988 crisis line. The conversation concludes with a discussion of addiction treatment, medication-assisted treatment, and the role of the San Juan County Navigation Center in helping residents access health and social services.
